Marshall’s DeKendrick Bender Offered By Texas State

It was a big day for Marshall football players on Wednesday as four Mavericks recruits picked up Division I FBS scholarship offers.

The last to pick up an offer on the day was 2019 wide receiver DeKendrick Bender, who reported via Twitter that Texas State offered.

Bender also has an FBS offer from Air Force.

He is one of three Marshall receivers with FBS offers. Tahj Washington (2019) and Saivon Williams (2020) picked up offers from Southern Miss on Wednesday, and 2020 quarterback J.J. Green was offered by Texas State.

Bender led the Mavericks with 30 receptions for 564 yards and nine touchdowns in 2017. Marshall finished the season 6-5, falling in the first round of the playoffs.

Texas State competes in the Sun Belt Conference and finished 2017 with a 2-10 record under head coach Everett Withers.

Bender, like all juniors, can sign with any team that offers him beginning in December.
